Free Pascal is a mature, versatile, open source Pascal compiler.
Actually kinda surprising not having it already.
Cross compilers are not requested, fpc can compile it self, so it should be easy(theoretically? never tried on Android before) while having the native compiler available.
But I am not gonna ask for Lazarus. Since it requires much more effort considering it supports different GUI front end including GTK and QT for both IDE it self and the projects developed within the IDE. Another issue might be violating Packaging Policy The size of resulting package should be less than 100 MiB, in fact Lazarus exceeds this size and that's not including fpc-src(required for IDE working properly) and fpc-docs(the documents are optional). Besides the terminal IDE is good enough for TUI development (or even GUI if manually layout the form by code is not a problem).

There is also a GUI based IDE in addition to the terminal IDE comes with fpc - https://www.lazarus-ide.org/
